1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundMicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, small (21-25 nucleotide), non-coding RNAs that play important roles in numerous biological processes. Koi carp exhibit diverse color patterns, making it an ideal subject for studying the genetics of pigmentation. However, the influence of miRNAs on skin color regulation and variation in Koi carp is poorly understood.

resultsHerein, we performed small RNA (sRNA) analysis of the three main skin colors in Koi carp by Illumina sequencing. The results revealed 330, 397, and 335 conserved miRNAs (belonging to 81 families) and 340, 353, and 351 candidate miRNAs in black, red, and white libraries, respectively. A total of 164 differentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs) and 14 overlapping DEMs were identified, including miR-196a, miR-125b, miR-202, miR-205-5p, miR-200b, and etc. Target prediction and functional analysis of color-related miRNAs such as miR-200b, miR-206, and miR-196a highlighted putative target genes, including Mitf, Mc1r, Foxd3, and Sox10 that are potentially related to pigmentation. Determination of reference miRNAs for relative quantification showed that let-7a was the most abundant single reference gene, and let-7a and miR-26b was the most abundant combination.

conclusionsThe findings provide novel insight into the molecular mechanisms determining skin color differentiation in Koi carp, and serve as a valuable reference for future studies on tissue-specific miRNA abundance in Koi carp.
